This article was written in August 6th, 2008 by the DPA news agency. It talks of the German Jews, who complained about the lack of protection from racism. Although discrimination, racial violence and anti-Semitism have been problems in Germany, the country's Central Council of Jews demanded that more should be done to protect the Hebrews and the other minorities. This is quite surprising because many people have assumed that racism ended in Germany long ago; however, that is not true. The Hebrews are still suffering from discrimination, although the German government did take necessary actions. However, this issue is not only caused by the lack of protection from the government, but also the Jews themselves. Instead of complaining about the problems they are facing, they should attempt to take care of things by themselves for once. It is true that their nation has suffered immensely and had problems settling in. Nevertheless, that does not mean that they have the rights to rely on others, in order to solve their own problems. They should stop alienating themselves from their own communities and begin to communicate with other ethnic groups and communities. The lack of communication between the Hebrews and other communities has caused many conflicts in the world. They have gotten themselves in this situation and I think it is time for them to fight through their own problems this time.
